By Ellie H. Have you ever been to Louisiana? If you haven’t, you should visit and while you’re at it grab some of Louisiana’s rich, dark soil. Read on to find out fascinating facts, things to do, and what you should pack on your visit to Louisiana.
A good time to visit Louisiana is during Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is so exciting! First, at the parade, they ride in floats and throw strings of beads, toys, and large different colored beads. Celebrating is the best part about Mardi Gras. Did you know that Mardi Gras is known as Fat Tuesday? Mardi Gras has it’s own colors which are purple, green, and gold. Another fun place to visit is New Orleans, Louisiana’s capital. New Orleans capital building is 34 stories high and the tallest capital building in the nation.
Louisiana is the wettest state in the U.S.A. Louisiana gets 60.09 inches of rain a year. 114 days of the year Louisiana gets rain. Louisiana has two nicknames one of the nicknames is the Bayou State because of Louisiana’s slow moving streams. Another nickname is the Pelican State. Louisiana got the name the Pelican State because there used to be a brown pelican that died in Louisiana because of pollution.
If you wanted to visit Louisiana there are special clothes you might want to pack. Springs and summers are hot and humid, but winters and falls are humid. You also might want to know what you could pack year around. I suggest you pack t-shirts, shorts and if you get cold often, pants.
In conclusion, I hope you learned all the things you didn’t know about Louisiana. Remember, grab some of Louisiana’s rich dark soil, because it’s the best!
